get him on rats ASAP. Just find one thats about the same size as the adult mouse.....You don't want a 4ft BP that only eats mice!

lol true..do you know the best way to convert him? They told me to rub a rat with a mouse..should i defrost them both and litterally just rub them together? is there anything else i can try aswell?

Congrats on him eating for you again

As for converting -- before you start trying any tricks, honestly just defrost a rat and see what happens. LOL... I didn't have any problems at all with my bp, he took rats as soon as I offered them to him -- no scenting or anything required. Give it a shot If you try with a rat a couple of times and don't have any luck, then you can try scenting etc...
